Description Suggest change

The First Corridor is the narrow shady gap formed by the two huge conglomerate domes nearest to the parking area, the Elephant Head and the Hatchery. The First Corridor can be accessed from either end, north or south.

Getting There Suggest change

From the parking area, walk up the road past the locked white gate. Continue up the road for ~ 200 yds. until the crag comes into sight.
